Lack of talks leads to ire over swings
While many will be angered at the loss of swings across the island owing to budget cuts – especially in light of the recent toilets debacle – it is interesting that a lack of consultation has played such a large part in this anger.
There is a deep-seated belief that prior to Arran having two councillors representing the island, Arran’s interests were not given due consideration, nor were any decisions guided by local knowledge and wisdom, which has contributed to the mire.
